Runbell Handheld Bell for Runners

Product Description

AVOID SURPRISES AND COLLISIONS DURING YOUR RUN
Your feet pound the path. Your breathing is deep but steady. As you lengthen your stride the trees along the path become a blur.

Then, a hundred yards ahead of you, you spot the blockade-three people walking abreast and chatting cheerfully. They probably don't even realize they're blocking your path.

You clear your throat, but the pedestrians are engaged in conversation and do not hear you.

What do you do? It feels rude to shout, and even ruder to barrel your way between them.

Runbell lets you communicate your presence in a polite way. The clear ring of the bell cuts through traffic and conversation noise to get the attention of others who share the trail or sidewalk.


WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"The greatest fitness accessory on Kickstarter" - OUTSIDE ONLINE

"The runner's version of the classic bicycle bell" - Runner's World

SIMPLE YET INGENIOUS
Runbell lets you alert pedestrians, bicyclists, and other joggers that you are drawing near, without having to shout a verbal warning. It produces a bright, clear "ring! ring!" that cuts through ambient noise. It is also a more polite solution than a warning shout or a last-second, grunted, "Coming through!"
ADJUSTABLE TO YOUR FINGERS
We designed Runbell to be slightly oversized, to fit even large hands comfortably. Two pairs of silicone inserts are included with every Runbell, so you can reduce the ring size to fit YOUR finger perfectly. On cold days, leave out the insert and wear Runbell over your gloves.

HOW TO USE:
STEP 1:Fit Your Fingers
Slide Runbell onto your index and middle finger. Adjust with removable silicone inserts.
STEP 2: Ring Ring
Reach with your thumb, push the hammer forward or pull to the side, release. Enjoy Runbell's signature ching!
STEP 3: Say "Thank You"

Features

• JUST RUN WITH IT - Runbell works. Try it and see. Walkers often complain that runners overtake them in surprise. Give warning before you pass and make your run easier.
• MUSICAL - A high quality brass dome produces a loud, powerful, musical ring. You'll love the ring so much, you'll ring it more than you need it!
• LIGHTWEIGHT – Weighing only 1 ounce, Runbell is small, stylish, and lightweight. Running with a Runbell has never been easier. You'll barely notice your new running gear
• ADJUSTABLE - Slightly oversized with two pairs of silicone inserts, adjust to fit YOUR fingers. Cold outside, then wear gloves because Runbell is oversized for the average fingers.
• QUALITY GIFT - Runbell comes in a beautiful packaging and makes a very unique gift for the runner who has everything. Plus Runbell is proudly made in Japan. Enjoy quality craftsmanship from the land of the rising sun.

Unreliable and Not Loud Enough
by L. Young (1 out of 5 stars)
July 13, 2019

I wanted to provide more stars for the packaging. The fitting and packaging deserve 5 stars. The quality for the price isn't bad either. That's where the love stops.

It fails in performance and sound. Hence one star.

Right out of the box, after a few tests, the spring loaded trigger bent back and didn't even ring anymore. I made multiple attempts to bend it around and it worked (meaning the trigger hit the bell to ring it) sporadically.

If I am on my electric wheels, I need a reliable way to alert people. I really wanted this to be it. I didn't even look for anything else which is what I normally do. I'll buy a few things to see what actually works but I was confident that this would.

I'm disappointed.

Good idea, but flawed execution and better products already exist.

After using this for a few outings, the spring on the "dinger" warped, and it became difficult to use and I returned it.

If you look up the "Thumbdinger" bicycle bell, you'll find it does the same thing as the "Runbell", for a third of the price, with more solid construction. Just put it on your finger, instead of your bike handlebar.

Superer "Hoverboard") This product is great because I am always coming up behind unsuspecting people
by Steve V. Kurtas (5 out of 5 stars)

I use it while riding my Ninebot One S1 (aka. Superer "Hoverboard") This product is great because I am always coming up behind unsuspecting people and with this a can send out a friendly "ding ding". It really sounds like a bicycle bell and people always react positively to it. You need to advertise this better to the "personal transportation" industry. FYI If you think you have pretty large fingers, it might not fit you.

Great for curbing the oblivious behavior of those you love
by David W. (5 out of 5 stars)
November 22, 2016

I've been THAT guy....the oblivious guy standing in a doorway, impeding traffic. And I've been that guy "slow-walking" down the center of the sidewalk, eyes glued to his phone. This bell was designed to reform people like me. A cheery little chime to alert me to my bad behavior; that's all it takes to alert me to the error of my ways.

Classroom management gold
by Sarah (5 out of 5 stars)
June 17, 2017

I'm using this in class as an attention-getter for my students. It's fantastic because it's loud enough to be heard over even the noisiest lesson, isn't lost as I move around the classroom, and still lets me use a pen/pencil/whiteboard marker. A++ unintended application ;)

Ding Ding I'm Here....
by BCTyler (4 out of 5 stars)

I've started to walk in my neighborhood and this is a must have. I use it to warn drivers coming out of their driveways and when I'm walking up on another walker as to not startle them. It's actually playing double duty cause I use it when I'm riding my bicycle also. It comes with rubber finger inserts, like bowling balls, to adjust the size of your fingers and for comfort.

Works Pretty Well
by T. McCarty (4 out of 5 stars)

This was bought more as a funny gift than anything else. The bell rings pretty well, but it is hard to ring if your hands are smaller.

I gave it to my love one. So I had to buy another one
by Jason (5 out of 5 stars)
October 7, 2016

I backed this on Kickstarter long time ago. I gave it to my love one. So I had to buy another one. I use this for running and it so hilarious people will actually thought there is a bike behind them and scared the heck out of them. This thing works like a charm if you don't like to slow down during your run to avoid the crowds that blocking the path.

by Anthony Andrada (3 out of 5 stars)

After a few uses, the trigger that is coiled starts to bend in the direction of the pull. Hence, the tension starts to fade from the bell, rendering it less effective.

This was purchased as a gag gift, but my friend ended up really loving it! Great gift for a runner!
